Timeline Estimation

时间预估

The patent process has two main phases. The creation phase includes patent search and analysis (1-4 weeks), patent writing (1-4 weeks), agent drafting (1-4 weeks), and review and revision (0-4 weeks), totaling 3-16 weeks. The examination phase includes application and acceptance (under 1 week), preliminary review and publication (3-18 months), substantive examination (6-18 months), and patent grant (2 months). The total timeline ranges from 11-38 months.
专利流程分为两个主要阶段：创作阶段包括专利检索与分析（1-4周）、专利撰写（1-4周）、代理机构初稿撰写（1-4周）、审核与修改（0-4周），总计3-16周；审查阶段包括申请与受理（1周以内）、初审与公开（3-18个月）、实质审查（6-18个月）以及专利授权（2个月）。全流程总耗时范围为11-38个月。

Key Principles

核心原则

When to Start Writing?

什么时候开始撰写？

The optimal timing for patent filing is during project research when you can conduct patent search alongside research. File before implementation since patent protects ideas, not implementation. Most importantly, file before any public announcement since public disclosure before filing destroys novelty.
提交专利申请的最佳时机是项目研发阶段，你可以在研发的同时同步开展专利检索。请在功能实现前提交申请，因为专利保护的是创意而非具体实现方式。最重要的是，务必在任何公开披露前提交申请，申请前的公开披露会直接破坏发明的新颖性。

Patent Three Properties (专利三性)

专利三性

The three properties that define a patentable invention are novelty (新颖性), which means not publicly disclosed before; inventiveness (创造性), which means non-obvious to a skilled person; and utility (实用性), which means can be made and used.
可授予专利的发明需要满足三项核心属性：新颖性，即发明此前未被公开披露；创造性，即对本领域技术人员而言并非显而易见；实用性，即发明能够被制造和投入使用。

Common Mistakes to Avoid

需要避免的常见错误

Four common mistakes compromise patent applications. Waiting until project completion delays filing unnecessarily. Making a public announcement before filing destroys novelty. Conducting insufficient prior art search weakens the application's novelty claim. Providing poor technical description makes it difficult for the patent attorney and examiner to understand the invention.
四类常见错误会影响专利申请通过率：等到项目完全完成才提交申请，造成不必要的申请延误；申请前公开发明内容，破坏新颖性；现有技术检索不充分，削弱申请的新颖性主张；技术描述不完善，导致专利代理人与审查员难以理解发明内容。

Deliverables

交付产物

1. Patent Disclosure Document (专利交底书)

1. 专利交底书

The disclosure document is written by the inventor for the patent attorney. Key sections include title of invention, technical field, background art, summary of invention, detailed description, claims outline, and drawings.
交底书由发明人撰写，供专利代理人使用。核心章节包括发明名称、技术领域、背景技术、发明内容、具体实施方式、权利要求大纲以及附图。

2. Self-Search Report (自检索报告)

2. 自检索报告

The self-search report checks if the patent has blocking risks. Its purpose is to clarify patent writing ideas, help the agent understand patent novelty, and improve the approval rate.
自检索报告用于核查专利是否存在抵触风险，目的是理清专利写作思路，帮助代理人理解专利新颖性，提升最终授权率。

Writing Tips

写作技巧

Four tips improve patent disclosure quality. First, draw more diagrams since a picture is worth a thousand words. Second, provide examples to help the agent and examiner understand the invention. Third, emphasize advantages with clear benefits over prior art. Fourth, be specific and avoid vague descriptions.
四个技巧可以有效提升专利交底书质量：第一，多画示意图，一图胜千言；第二，提供具体示例，帮助代理人与审查员理解发明；第三，突出优势，明确说明相较于现有技术的改进收益；第四，表述具体详实，避免模糊不清的描述。
